How Satta Wahab started Liberia’s first hair care company for African natural hair with just 100$

Meet Satta Wahab, the founder of Naz Naturals in Monrovia, Liberia

Satta started her hair care company for natural African hair with just a 100 Dollars.

She noticed there was a gap in the market, after she ‘went natural’ herself. Trying to find the products she needed for this transition, she realised that the products for natural hair in Liberia were all imported and super expensive. So she did her research and started making her own.

Things started picking up, when her friends at university started asking her about the products. At first she gave her friends the products for free, but then eventually turned it into a business, when people didn’t stop asking for more of her creations.

“ For me it is about giving young women the chance. So it is not like I am gonna capitalise on this thing and get rich in a day. I don’t want to get rich in a day. I want young women to experience their natural hair and feel beautiful, empowered and confident. “ – Satta Wahab
